Dining Hall Shows Big Profit Says Comptroller
The Lincoln Dining Hall and the
College Bookstore showed large bal-ances
at the end of 1959 according to
a State Department of Audits and
Accounts audit.
The Lincoln Dining Hall fund
showed a balance of $50,264.83 as
of December 31, 1959. This was an
increase of $23,385.70 in the balance
which stood at $26,879.13 on Novem-ber
1, 1958.
The College Bookstore's balance
stood at $37,210.75 on December 31,
1959.
The gain in the balance in the
Lincoln Dining Hall fund is attributed
to three conditions: a $1,500 credit
from a fund transfer, an increase in
the price of meals; and about 50 per
cent more business due to larger
dormitory enrollment.
The state examiner was advised
by Dr. J. Howard Kramer and Harold
Fowler, that a great portion of the
increased balance will be diminished
in the near future for three reasons.
These three reasons are the follow-ing:
• Approximately $5,000 of equip-ment,
repairs and placements have
been on order for some time.
• Loss of the Wolves Den to the
Memorial Union.
• Remodeling of the former Wolves
Den quarters into additional banquet
space at an estimated cost of $10,000
to $15,000.
The Wolves Den, during the past
18 months, represented about 18 per
cent of the Lincoln Dining Hall fund
revenues. Hereafter it will be operat-ed
by the Student Union.
The improvements should be paid
by dining hall proceeds rather than
from state appropriations, the college
officials believe. They feel there will
not be an excessive balance after the
work is completed.
If a sizeable surplus does remain
after the current expansion program
is completed and the effect of losing
the Wolves Den is determined, the
price of meals will be reduced, Dr.
Kramer advised.
The bookstore balance of $37,210.79
on December 31, 1959 is somewhat
larger than necessary for current oper-ations,
the audit report stated.
Three factors would diminish the
balance considerably, it continued.
The bookstore's rent in the new Mem-orial
Union will be $200 per month
which is double the fee paid for
quarters in Seymour Hall.
The bookstore manager's salary of
$6,000 could reasonably be charged
to the operations fund instead of
being taken from state funds, the
examiner recommended.
If the bookstore profit of $13,091.19
for the 18 month period from July 1,
1958 to December 31, 1959 was used
to absorb administrative costs, officials
could determine whether the bookstore
is selfsustaining.
The established markup on books,
as authorized by the business office
and approved by the Board of Re-gents,
is 20 per cent on cost. During
the 18 months the bookstore had a
gross profit of 20.6 per cent on books
sold.
State Comptroller John C. Penne
found the records of the institution's
business office in good order. He
had one criticism, however.
The suggestion of his examiners
for consolidation of the numerous
hank accounts has not yet been adopt-ed
by the business office, Penne re-ported.
Consolidation of the accounts
into one at each bank would eliminate
considerable clerical work in the office
each time bank deposits were made
up, he said. It also would facilitate
bookkeeping procedures under the
present methods of machine posting.

High School Seniors
Will Number
1000 For N-Day
Approximately 1000 high school
seniors will be honored at the NSTC
annual open house, Friday, April 29.
The seniors will be given the op-portunity
to see first hand the many
educational offerings and factilities as
they tour the campus under the gui-dance
of Northern students.
Kay DeYoung and Dorothy Parkin

high school seniors which starts at
8:00 a.m. After registration the seniors
will be taken of tours of classes in
session by Linda Hanson and Dennis
Dolney. The dormitories and the Un-ion
Building invite all seniors to
lounge and relax after tours. At 11:00
Lunch will be served the seniors in
the Lincoln Dining Hall.
The afternoon program will com-mence
at 1:15 with a stage show in
the college auditorium. Dr. Kramer
will address the visiting seniors. Fol-lowing
the address the candidates for
Duke and Duchess will be introduced
to the rest of the seniors by Janice
Collins and Donna Collins. Entertain-ment
will be offered by Northern stu-dents.
The Calypsos, headed by Floyd
Westerman, the Graham Crackers, a
comedy team composed of Carol Linn
and Dorothy Perkins and a singing
group composed of Clarence Dais,
Verle Rogers and John Hughes will
perform.
At 3:00 the AWS will hold an in-formal
tea in the Lincoln Hall Sun
Parlor.
The evening show will begin at

with "Waldo Presents" Northern's

to NSTC.
A Northern Day dance from 9:00
to 12:00 with music furnished by
the Larry Kampa Orchestra will cap
the days festivities in the Civic Arena.
The dance is open to all high school
seniors and NSTC students.
Schools participating in Northern
Day are Bonilla, Britton, Leola, Faulk-ton,

Record Dance Set
For Saturday Night
A record dance has been scheduled
by the "N" Club for Saturday night
according to Jim Vogt, president of
the sponsoring group. The "hop", with
the admission 25c and 15c for couples,
will begin at 8:30 and continue until
11:30.
Chaperones for the event will be
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wachs, Mr. and
Mrs. Bill Jordan, and Mr. and Mrs.
Don Vogt.
Lindberg Hall will become a fresh-man
men's dorm next year announced
Dr. J. W. Wettstein, director of
student personnel, last week.
Seymour Hall will remain a fresh-man
dorm while Steele Hall will be-come
the upperclassmen's dorm.
Lincoln Hall will be the main
freshman women's dorm while Gra-ham
and Briscoe Halls will be the
upperclass women's dorms. Some
freshman girls may be placed in
Graham Hall if there is an overflow
at Lincoln Hall.
The reason for placing upperclass
personnel in Briscoe and Steele Halls
is to insure that both dorms will
remain completely occupied through-out
the year.
This is necessary, explained the
student personnel director, because
both dorms were built with federal
government loans which must be
paid back by the college with revenues
collected from the use of these bulid-ings
in accordance with federal regu-lations.
There is too large a turn-over in
the freshman class to insure that
both dorms would be occupied as
fully as possible if they were made
freshman dorms, continued Dr. Wett-stein.
Two freshman boys' dorms will be
needed next year because a long
standing college regulation which re-quires
all freshmen to live on campus
will be enforced.
"Up to this time we have not had
enough space to enforce this regula-tion
but with the completion of Steele
Hall, there should be enough room
for all freshmen women and men
that do not commute to their homes
every day," Wettstein said.
It was also announced that Briscoe
Hall will be remodeled so that only
two girls will occupy a room instead
of three which is now the case.
Tickets Go On Sale
For Spring Play
Tickets have been placed on sale
for the spring production, "Guest in
the House," to be produced May 5,
6, and 7. Reserved tickets may be
picked up by students at the switch-board.
Reserved seats may be purchased
at the switchboard in the morning
by non-holders of activities tickets.
The activity tickets will only be ac-cepted
Friday and Saturday, accord-ing
to Professor Leon Pike, director
of productions.
Students in groups of 10 or more
will be admitted for 50c each while
adults will be charged $1.00. Students
who are not holders of an activity
ticket will be charged 75c.
Northern's student body used vot-ing
machines Monday to elect Verle
Rogers, council president; Al Stoehr,
Nice-president; Loretta Murphy, sec-retary;
and Jane Arithson ,treasurer.
The proposed revisions of the con-stitution
also passed.
This is the first college election,
at least in South Dakota, in which
voting machines were used. Dr. J.
Howard Kramer made the arrange-ments
to use the City of Aberdeen's
new machines with Mayor Clifton
I-iurlburt.
Despite the novelty of the voting
machines and a relatively active cam-paign
by the candidates, turnout of
voters Monday was very poor. Only
479 students voted. This is only about
40 per cent of the student body.
All of the winning candidates were
Three Join Board
Without Opposition
Three new members were added
to the Student Union Board without
competition since only three candi-dates
filed for the openings. Thus
they were not put on Monday's ballot.

Don Wildstrom, freshman from Hecla;
and Kathy Lovering, a Granite Falls,
Minnesota, freshman.
According to the Union constitu-tion,
